I absolutely love these little eyeshadow palettes from NARS. I’ve been using them for months, and they quickly became some of the most essential products in my makeup collection. Even though I say makeup bag, I actually mean multiple bags because things have gotten a bit out of hand with all the products I’m testing.
These compact and sleek palettes are fantastic—they fit into any handbag or makeup pouch without taking up space, unlike heavier and bulkier palettes. NARS offers the Voyageur palette in two versions: Suede and Nectar. Suede has a cooler, more wearable tone, while Nectar is vibrant and peachy. Both include a mix of matte, shimmer, and sheer finishes, and surprisingly, all shades are usable, either individually or layered.
The Nectar palette pops with fiery, summery hues. In good lighting, you can easily distinguish between the shimmery and sheer shades. Despite never feeling sure when using them initially, I’ve figured out that some shades have the shimmer, while others have the sheer glow. No matter how you use them, they apply beautifully with excellent pigmentation and blend effortlessly.
However, the palette I reach for the most is Suede. It’s more understated and perfect for natural looks, whereas Nectar’s redder tones are bold and striking. Suede includes a deep brown matte, great for smokey eyes, lining, or creating contoured effects.
Though I only have a photo of myself wearing Nectar to show its gorgeous peachy tones, there’s a video of me using Suede on my IGTV. Both palettes are absolutely incredible, but if I had to choose just one, Suede’s versatility wins me over.
These versatile palettes are available at Space NK for £28 each. At the moment, Space NK has a discovery event where you get £15 off when you spend £60. A great deal if you’re interested!
